Dogs.

I had to point out to my sister in law that she was being trained today

She's got training treats in her room for her pooch. Well Gypsy figured out that they were there. The nose knows!!!!

So every chance she's had today, she would go into the room and sit.

She would then look up to where the treats were stored. Nudge aunt Neecee and then look up at the treat bag.

After the third time she went in there for a treat, we informed Aunt Neecee that she was in fact the one being trained

We also told her, since she can open her bedroom door, you don't want to be trying to get some sleep and have her randomly come in demanding a treat

Got up this morning and all was normal. Let the dogs out and started the coffee. Then it happened - with all the windows open there was a MAJOR strong hit of skunk. Oh, nooooo. I went out and called and got them inside. I don't think any of the three got hit directly. Shut up all the windows and went out for a look see. The skunk is in the live trap right next to the deck. I've been actively eradicating ground squirrels all summer and the skunk took the bait.

So the trip is for a dental cleaning plus some other stops and I've already rescheduled the cleaning once. I'm going anyway. This will be interesting.

I'll leave the skunk for the wife to deal with.

Too cute ...

Too cute ...

Cute? Yeah but...

I think I'm pretty good at reading dogs.

That retriever was "this close" to snapping at that little kid, based on the little lip movements going on.

Too funny reading body language in an AI creation.

How can you tell?

How can you tell?

The little girl looks to be a 2, 3 maybe 4 years old and kids that age can't talk that way. At least any I have known.

The AI out there is scary good. There are Star Wars videos with Storm Troopers that are really funny as are the Big Foot videos. All AI.

There are talking dog videos that are a hoot. There are multiple channels with talking dogs and I can't figure out if they are from the same people or just different people with the same idea. The dog "voices" sound similar too. In any case, they are very clever and funny.

I agree. I had the same reaction to her speaking. A kid that size doesn't have the motor control yet to speak that articulately, even if a few achieve adult grammar.

As humor, it was amusing.

All the best, Peter

Just for the record, AI or not I agree with you. I would never allow a kid to get near my dog's face like that because you never know what will happen until it's over.
When my first dog was old and had arthritis we were at a friend's house and she was laying quietly on the floor.
The woman's 2YO grandson walked up and poked her in the eye just for the fun of it. Talk about an "Oh, ****" moment...
Luckily she just turned her head.
The following summer the kid got kicked in the head by a horse, almost killing him.
